Error for self-signed certificate

[thelazyoxymoron]

Currently Vikunja expects server address to be in a particular format. It should always be https://subdomain.domain.tld/ (ending it with slash is important).

It should also accept below combinations:

• subdomain.domain.tld
• https://subdomain.domain.tld

When used with https://subdomain.domain.tld (without the trailing slash), it throws this error:

@Benimautner can you take a look?

I'd argue that removing the need to specify the protocol (http or https) is a security risk. A compromise would be a dropdown to select either http or https. I cannot reproduce the error with the trailing slash on https://try.vikunja.io . For me, all of the options below work:

• https://try.vikunja.io
• https://try.vikunja.io/
• https://try.vikunja.io/api/v1
• https://try.vikunja.io/api/v1/

Could you share some more information about your instance? Are you using a self-signed certificate?

Alas, it seems I had overlooked a simple nginx redirection for base /.

My setup is: docker compose with Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM) where NPM generates LetsEncrypt certificates for each of the proxy hosts. All I needed to do was to add a base / location redirection in nginx config.

Documenting it in case someone stumbles across the same issue. Refer to the below screenshot:
